Drink Tabs for Ronald McDonald House

Brevard Elementary School’s goal for the drink can tab collection this year was $10,000.  On Friday afternoon, June 8, the school surpassed that with a total of $10,764!  They even had tabs left over in the bottom of the Ronald McDonald House to start next year.  The money will all go to the Ronald McDonald House.  Thanks to the giving of students, parents, faculty, staff and the community, BES was able to go further than ever before with this charity.  Centura Bank and T. C. Henderson Elementary School also contributed to this collection.

Cable Easement at TCH

Sylvan Valley Cable is requesting a maintenance easement to bury a fiber optic cable on Board property at T. C. Henderson Elementary School.  The right-of-way along US 64 is too unstable to bore.  Sylvan Valley would bore beneath the property, leaving the surface undisturbed, and bury the cable in piping so any future maintenance requirements would not disturb the surface.  A diagram of the proposed area is attached.  Norris Barger will be available to answer questions.

 

A motion is in order to grant the easement. 

 

Survey/Easement at BHS

RCG LLC, a real estate development firm with regional offices in Brevard, is considering a new development project, Cadence Point, located a short distance from Brevard High School.  In order to extend sewer to the proposed project, they will need to cross property owned by the Board.  Before seeking formal approval for an easement, they are requesting permission to enter the property to undertake a topographic survey.  Should the extension of a sewer line be feasible, they will then make a formal request of the Board.  An aerial map of the proposed crossing and location is attached.  

 

A motion is in order to grant permission to perform a topographic survey.

During the last month of school, Principal Larry Clayton stopped students from using the Zion Baptist Church parking lot.  Mr. Clayton felt that it was too difficult to maintain proper supervision of the parking lot and that students should park closer to the school.  Students parked in the parking areas near the stadium. 

 

The Board may want to discuss plans to notify the church and other Rosman area businesses with regard to student parking in light of the new policy on random drug testing for students.
